Applying for a job at the same company everyday

The first job I got was at the local store of a national grocery company. Their 'application process' consisted of a crinkled up, old notepad where you just wrote in your name and phone number. I filled that in each week when I went shopping with my mom - some times my name ended up being twice in a row if no one else applied that week - and when I finally got a call after a few months the person commented that I seemed keen and they would like to interview me. I worked there for 5 years - through the end of high-school and the duration of my undergrad degree.

Now-a-days the same company does it all through what I guess I would call a 'hiring manager' - someone sitting at their head office who probably treats eager kids with disdain

Well, I don't work with "eager kids."

I work with college-educated, experienced professionals. A true professional would not act like this.

Invalid question - I do not leave a position unfilled. Eventually, the right candidate will be placed into the position.

Now, whether the candidate is unemployed, or coming from another company... and if they decide to spam the application system, that is their problem - not mine.

Hardly.

It shows desperation (not in a good way), and it shows a highly unprofessional approach to the business world. Neither are something I want in an associate that I would employ.



My suggestion: apply once, and let it be. Rapid fire applications are NOT something management want to see for a professional-level job. At all.
